Sister sides seek bragging rights

Central were too strong for their sister team in Mount Gambier and District Baseball League Division 1 action at Blue Lake Sports Park on Saturday.


Barring the first inning Central scored runs in all the next six innings whilst keeping the Magpies scoreless.


In the second dig Koby Chant’s flyball to centre field was grassed and he was batted in by Patrick O’Hehir when he hit safely also to centre field.


In the next inning Kyall McClean picked a base on ball and was batted in by Nathan Meinck whose sacrifice fly was caught at right field.


Two runs in the fourth advanced their score to four.


Alex Ridding cracked a safe hit to centre field, who was having a very busy day, Patrick O’Hehir followed with a shot that landed safely in left field, Colby Muller’s sacrifice fly again to centre field scored Ridding and Dylan Chuck’s crunch to left field saw O’Hehir cross the plate.


In the fifth Dylan Gull was aboard after an error and was home on another sacrifice fly to centre field.


In the final two innings, Central upped the ante, scoring three and four runs respectively.


Dylan Chuck drew a walk, Kyall McClean crunched a safe hit to centre field scoring Chuck with good base running, Dylan Gull hit long to left field scoring McClean and Koby Chant’s clutch hit to right field scored Gull.


In the final inning Colby Muller picked up a safe hit to right field, Dylan Chuck was again on board, this time from a wild throw, Kyall McClean got to first on a fielder’s choice and the same for Dylan Gull.


Muller scored on a wild throw as did Chuck as well as McClean and a repeat for Gull giving the win to Central 12 runs to nil.


Central had nine safe hits, five base on ball, five runs batted in and one strikeout.


Magpies had four safe hits, five base on ball, one hit batter, four strikeouts and made five errors.


TOUGH LOSS: The Magpies couldn’t get the win against their sister team on Saturday, losing 12-0.

SOUTH INDIANS OVERHAUL TIGERS


South Indians overhauled Tigers in the fifth inning and hung on for a win in the late game of Division 1 baseball at Blue Lake Sports Park on Saturday.


The Indians were first away in the bottom of the first innings.


Lead off batter Ben Nash singled to centre field, Zac Ratcliffe picked a walk, with both batter/runners scoring on fielder’s choice.


Ryan Walter hit safely to left field and was batted in by Brent Masterman.


Tigers fought back with two in the top of the second.


Consecutive walks to Joe Sims and Pat Kermond saw them both score, Sims on a passed ball and Kermond on a wild pitch.


South pushed the lead out by four more in the bottom of the second.


Phoenix Cole got onboard on an error, there were consecutive safe hits to Ben Nash and Zac Ratcliffe with Ratcliffe batting in Cole, Ryan Placucci hit into an infield error which saw Nash cross the home plate and Linkon Ratcliffe’s crunch to right field scored both Zac Ratcliffe and Placucci.

There were more walks for Tigers in the top of the third with Riley Parsons and Cooper Pitkin on the receiving end.


Parsons scored on a passed ball, Jake England landed at first base on a wild throw, Pitkin was batted in by Matt Thompson and England touched home on a sacrifice fly from Joe Sims, with South up by two runs.


The orange and black piled on four runs in the fifth.


Jake England got to first on an error, there were consecutive safe hits to Matt Thompson and Joe Sims with the latter batting in both England and Thompson, Pat Kermond hit safely to centre field allowing Sims to score and Koby Stratman’s Texas Leaguer to centre field scored Kermond to have the Tigers in front by two runs.


Not to be outdone, the red and white mirrored Tigers’ effort scoring four of their own.


Bradley Meek picked a base on ball, followed by consecutive hits into errors by Wade Chant and Phoenix Cole with Meek crossing on Cole’s hit.


Chant scored when Ben Nash’s hit slid out to right field, Ryan Placucci dobbed a long two bagger to centre field which saw both Cole and Nash rushing home.
